TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JACOB- BISH, of Dayton, in' the' county ofMontgomery, in the State of Ohio', have invented an Improvement in whatis known as Peltons Treble-Gearcd Horse-Power; and Ido hereby declarethat tbe following is a Vfull and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to thelaccompanying drawings, and the letters of referencemarked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in the manner of connecting thegear-frames so as to prevent breaking.

To enable others skilled in the art tofmake and use my invention, Iwill' proceed to describe its construction and operation., Y A

Figure 1 represents a top view of the frames as connected.

Figure 2 represents a transverse section of the same.

rIhe same letters occurring on the different figures refer to likeparts;

B represents thc bottom part, which is attached to the mud-sills atv theseveral slots e.' In the centre atm is a bearing for a. vertical shaft.A representsthe upper part of the gear-frame, which has 'three bosses Con its upper surface, and within which are fastened axles for as manywheels. A master-wheel gears into these wheels, and to which the horsesVare hitched by means of levers in the usual manner. At fig. 2 is shownthe boss o of the upper frame. The lower frame having a cavitycorresponding with this boss, and the boss being let into-this cavityand the bolts D passingrthrough the frames and boss, a. secure fasteningis effected. It will be observed that the power exerted by the horses isexpended On the boltsconneting the tivo frames, and as the Peltonhorse-power has been constructed they are very liable to break, which isnot the case when constructed as here shown and. described.

What I claim las my invention, and desire to secure by Lett-ers Patent,is-

The boss o of the frame A, and the corresponding cavity'of the frame B,and the relation of the bolt D to the same, in the manner substantiallyzie-described and for the purpose specified. p 4
